> Please, Joseph, tell me.... Where did you find this Dissertation Abstract?

the database: "Dissertation Abstacts" check with your local library for it or your largest University library. there is another service called "Digital Dissertations" (I think?) that lets you purchase dissertations for something like $35 as of about a year ago. Prices may have changed. then again you can contact the specific library listed and ask them for ILL possibilities or if you have University borrowing privledges\*\*\* then you can try to initiate a loan through them (I think ILL is more likely from one University to another rather than to a public library). Checking with the originiating libary will be your last resort as I'm sure for a $ you can make arrangements to have the dissertation sent to you even though if it is close enought (one was UCSD) you can just go there and look at it free (well thats the way its been for the libraries I've attended. . .check with UCSD for their specifics)  
  
[\*\*\*University borrowing privledges  
  
I have borrowing priledges from Duke, UNC, and NCSU via a program for continuing education at NCSU. I think it might be possible for your to join your own continiuing education program and secure borrowing privledges if you are not an alumni. Or if you are some Universities might let you become a "friend" of the library for a $ and allow you to borrow.]  

> I'ts simply fascinating!!! So it's WASN'T JUST ME who noticed something interesting about the people of Los Altos de Jalisco. The whole thing sounds very, very interesting!! Reminds me very much of my own family's history. Sounds like the author is undoubtedly an Alten~o himself.

I co-wrote a definitive article on the Tello de Orozco family of Nueva Galicia in SHHAR's Genealogical Journal, Vol. V (2003).

After the federal government rounded people up like cattle and relocated them to refugee camps outside Los Altos--and in many large cities like Leon, Ocotlan, Guadalajara, and Aguascalientes--Los Altos has never been the same since. Just like the author mentions, since those Reconcentraciones back in 1927, 1928, and 1929, and after other horrible atrocities, many Alten~os migrated to Mexico's larger cities or to the United States, in search of a better life.
